Affinity Photo 2: Image editor does not update or download since macOS Tahoe.

Affinity Photo 2 does not update or download since I updated to macOS Tahoe. All the other apps work just fine. Anybody experienced this problem?

I tried deleting and restarting, nothing changed.

Photo App is extremely lagging after Sequoia 15.2 upgrade I upgraded my M1 MacBook Pro from the initial Sequoia version to version 15.2. After the update, the Photo App is extremely lagging in loading photos in full resolution - it takes between 4 and 11 seconds for photos to be loaded in full resolution! I tried various steps - complete reboot, ran the First Aid on disk, cleared all cached - nothing help. I also tried the reinstallation the OS - this also did not help. I finally did a full factory reset (wiping the entire disk), a full installation of the OS, reinstalled all of the apps that I had. The Photo App is now back to normal - no lagging in loading photos in full resolution. I did notice it is the Sonoma OS that got installed after the full reset. I am not going to upgrade OS to Sequoia until Apple fixes the problem. Did anyone experience the same problem, and how was it resolved?

Image playground not working on MacBook Pro Sequoia 15.3 The Image Playground on my MacBook Pro 16 Sequoia 15.3 opens, but none of the features work. I only see the message "Photo Library Unavailable. "Open photos to use the Image Playground, I get Image Playground. "When I open photos and then the same message. How can I resolve this issue? Image Playground on Sequoia 15.2 has all the features but does not work. The application is supposed to work on my macOS and M1, but it has not yet. Help me to resolve this issue.

I don't use Affinity, but I would try these things:

Restart the computer (of course)
Re-start in Safe Mode. This bypasses certain potentially disruptive processes, and it often helps. Safe Mode is different for different computers, so see this:

Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support

Make a new user and see if the same problem recurs with it.
